Hey Vincent,
thanks, I will miss her but as you pointed out, the replacement should do just fine. Its been a long haul but things are starting to come together. The engine is rebuilt and tranny also and its all about to go back together. Really nice new one piece diff carriers, new pistons, refined cam profiles etc. Should put down close to 900hp. We are also completely redoing oil delivery and cai.
Norwood had the intakes picking up behind the rear wheels!! STicky 335's throwing up all sorts of dirt and debris. We are going to fully enclose a custom intake sealed at the hood louvers.
Its starting to get exciting. Thanks for asking!

Deal that was pending did not work out, buyer did not have $.
So still available and still one hell of a lot of car for the money. Guaranteed to put a huge smile on your face!

I might have to come see it if you still have it in mid to late August.
I'm in Vegas. How is the AC? Important question, it's 110ish today!

It works, but to be honest, I have rarely used it. I live on the north coast and its pretty mild here. More heaters at night than AC during the day unless i go inland far enough in the middle of the day.

Riverflyer -
Do you have any vids of this car idling, accelerating, etc? I may be selling the 06 M3 Vert in search of something a bit more ridiculous and this might just fit that description.
Thanks, Dan

Dan,
I dont have any presently, might be able to take some next week. I can promise you, and I've owned a lot of fast cars, this car will thrill you. Its very light, so of course, very fast. Its also loud, not crazy but you wont sneak up on anyone either
My 996tt, which is nicely done up, goes w/o notice compared to this car. Maybe because its older people feel easier about expressing interest, or maybe because its more unusual.

The 06 M3 just went up for sale today so I'm looking for something currently with a bit more wow factor.
